HIGHLIGHTS: Magnolia vs Alaska – PBA Finals 2018 Game 1
The Magnolia Hotshots and the Alaska Aces joust for the PBA Governors' Cup championship starting on Wednesday, December 5, at 7 pm

MANILA, Philippines – For the first time since 2010, the Alaska Aces and the Magnolia Hotshots joust for the PBA’s top prize.

The Aces and the Hotshots battle for the 2018 PBA Governors’ Cup championship in a best-of-seven series starting Wednesday, December 5, at the Mall of Asia Arena. 

Both teams are seeking to end years of title drought, with Alaska last winning a championship in the 2013 Commissioner’s Cup and Magnolia in the 2014 Governors’ Cup – the last of its historic Grand Slam. 

The finals affair will see either Alaska coach Alex Compton and Magnolia tactician Chito Victoler winning their first PBA crown. (READ: Ex-teammates Compton, Victolero vie for first PBA title as coaches)

Game time is at 7 pm.
